Why You Should Visit

ABC Radio's once-a-year autumn fan festival, held in the Natural Cultural Gardens of Expo '70 Commemorative Park. Popular personalities gather for joint stage shows, and there are meet-the-listeners activities, mini events, programme merchandise and sponsor booths. The main stage at Omatsuri Hiroba is broadcast live as a special programme, so you can hear familiar radio voices in person. 2026 marks the station's 75th anniversary and includes a crossover with rival MBS Radio.
